DJO Global welcomes applications for support from healthcare professional organizations through our Grants and Charitable Contributions process described below. Please review the areas of available support and complete the application process for the type of support you are requesting.

Types of available funding:

Conferences, meetings, symposia and congresses

General educational grants (e.g., grand rounds, journal clubs)

Research Grants (Note: As a general rule, DJO will not pay more than 25% overhead on research studies and grants in partnership with institutions. Further, this payment is considered inclusive of any overhead on fringe benefits; no separate overhead payments shall be made for this category.)

Any evidence that an application is tied in any way to the past, present, or future use, order, recommendation or purchase of DJO Global’s products will result in denial, and may exclude the organization from consideration for future funding.

All funded programs will be reported to state and federal governments as required by law or regulation.

DJO Global funds only those applicants that are willing to provide DJO Global with financial and audit reports upon request and meet our established grant criteria, including the submission of budgets for educational conferences.

DJO Global receives numerous requests, however, only limited funds are available, therefore, not all requests submitted to DJO Global for consideration will receive funding.

Occasionally DJO Global may invite organizations to apply for funding, however, the invitation to submit and the actual submission of an application is not a guarantee of funding.

A complete application for all grant and/or charitable contribution requests should be submitted to DJO Global a minimum of 6 weeks prior to the date by which you wish to receive a funding decision.

DJO Global will not consider applications for funding for conferences, events or programs which have begun or are concluded as of the date a completed application is received by DJO Global.

Only complete applications will be considered.

DJO Global is committed to professional and compliant interactions with all health care professionals that facilitate the exchange of medical or scientific information that will benefit patient care.
